to Tammy Crabtree
I thought it’d be a great idea to write Tammy Crabtree (the main character of Tammy’s Story) and include notes of appreciation/encouragement written by you all. I have shown Tammy’s Story numerous times in this Intro to Sociology (Soc 1) class, and many students have commented on Tammy’s resilience, intelligence, and overall perseverance. I would like the real Tammy Crabtree (who always dreamed of becoming a teacher) to know how she helped teach/educate you.
If you are interested in participating, please draft a short (<200 words) note that is addressed to Ms. Tammy Crabtree. Please submit your note of appreciation/encouragement as a text entry, make sure the note is free of typos/grammatical errors, and include your name at the end. Submit the note before 9am, Sunday, May 24th.
For reference, here is a website link that includes two videos profiling Tammy’s Story (both the original and follow up) : https://www.everydaysociologyblog.com/2019/11/tammys-story-revealing-rural-poverty.html (Links to an external site.)
We will send Tammy a packet that includes a cover letter (written by me) and your individual notes of appreciation/encouragement.
